Hadith 22367

حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَيَّاشٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ المُهَاجِرِ ، عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ اللَّخْمِيِّ ، قَالَ : بَعَثَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ إِلَى أَبِي سَلَّامٍ الْحَبَشِيِّ ، فَحُمِلَ إِلَيْهِ عَلَى الْبَرِيدِ يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْحَوْضِ ، فَقُدِمَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ ، فَسَأَلَهُ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ثَوْبَانَ ، يَقُولُ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ حَوْضِي مِنْ عَدَنَ إِلَى عَمَّانَ الْبَلْقَاءِ ، مَاؤُهُ أَشَدُّ بَيَاضًا مِنَ اللَّبَنِ ، وَأَحْلَى مِنَ الْعَسَلِ ، وَأَكَاوِيبُهُ عَدَدُ النُّجُومِ ، مَنْ شَرِبَ مِنْهُ شَرْبَةً لَمْ يَظْمَأْ بَعْدَهَا أَبَدًا ، أَوَّلُ النَّاسِ وُرُودًا عَلَيْهِ فُقَرَاءُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ " , فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ : مَنْ هُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " هُمْ الشُّعْثُ رُءُوسًا ، الدُّنْسُ ثِيَابًا ، الَّذِينَ لَا يَنْكِحُونَ الْمُتَنَعِّمَاتِ وَلَا تُفْتَحُ لَهُمْ أَبْوَابُ السُّدَدِ " , فَقَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ : لَقَدْ نَكَحْتُ الْمُتَنَعِّمَاتِ ، وَفُتِحَتْ لِي السُّدَدُ إِلَّا أَنْ يَرْحَمَنِي اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهِ لَا جَرَمَ أَنْ لَا أَدْهُنَ رَأْسِي حَتَّى يَشْعَثَ ، وَلَا أَغْسِلَ ثَوْبِي الَّذِي يَلِي جَسَدِي حَتَّى يَتَّسِخَ.
Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, once sent a message through a courier to Abu Salam Habashi, may Allah have mercy on him. He wanted to ask Abu Salam about the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar. So he came. Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, asked him about it. He said, "I heard this hadith from Hazrat Thawban, may Allah be pleased with him, that I heard the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, say: 'The length and width of my Hawd is as much as the distance between Aden and Amman Balqa. Its water will be whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. Its cups will be as numerous as the stars in the sky. Whoever drinks a sip from it will never feel thirsty again. The first to come to this Hawd will be the poor Muhajireen.' Hazrat Umar Farooq, may Allah be pleased with him, upon hearing this, submitted in the court of the Prophet, 'O Messenger of Allah! Who will those people be?' The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, replied, 'They will be those whose hair is disheveled and whose clothes are dirty, who could not marry women brought up in luxury, and for whom closed doors are not opened.' Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz, may Allah have mercy on him, upon hearing this, said, 'I have married women brought up in luxury, and closed doors are opened for me. Now only Allah can have mercy on me. By Allah, from now on I will not apply oil to my head until it becomes disheveled, and I will not wash the clothes I wear on my body until they become dirty.'"
